The National Weather Service still has a heat advisory in effect for our area from noon to 8 p.m. During that period temps could be as high as the upper 90′s and heat index values as high as 105. Areas closer to Lake Michigan may see some cooling.

The longer range forecast shows little relief for the lack of rain. The greatest chance of rain comes Sunday with a 40 percent chance of a thunderstorm during the day.

Here’s a link to a story with information from the county health department about dealing with today’s extremely high temps, including the location of cooling centers.
